In my continuing investigation of CentOS-7 I did yet another minimal install.
Subsequent to that I ran yum update kernel, and then yum group install KDE.
Now, KDE installed about 480Mb of stuff, which compares favourably to Gnome's
971Mb. However, when I run startx from the command line, instead of getting a
desktop I see these errors instead:
xauth: file /root/.serverauth.12462 does not exist
xinit: unable to run server "/usr/bin/X": No such file or directory
Followed by instructions on how to link "/usr/bin/X" to ones choice of display
server. This seems a little awkward for a mature distro. Is it really the
case that one must hand link files to get any other desktop instead of gnome?
is this by design?
